Games, yay!

So let's hear it! Which games do you like playing?My favourite game series are Silent Hill, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid. But I have nearly no chance to play any of the new-generation games and I hardly have time for this these days anyway, so I've basically quit gaming. But I still like some games.

Re: Games, yay!

I've been in a video game slump for quite a while now, but some of my favorites are:

Final Fantasy (all of them really, but especially VI and VII)Just about anything SquaresoftCastlevania: Symphony of the Night Castlevania: Circle of the MoonCastlevania: Harmony of DissonanceCastlevania: Aria of SorrowHarvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town

and always old school Mario and Zelda! NES and SNES are two of the best consoles ever made!

PS2-Final Fantasy (though i stop when FF11 came out but i await FF13 cause FF12 just look utterly bad to me...the men should stop looking so wimpy with big swords)-Dynisty Warriors-Wild arms 3...(man i need more PS2 games)

Re: Games, yay!

Whoo! Xenogears and Symphony of the Night have both been accounted for. What excellent taste you folks have. Those were my top two.

SoTN is just damn bloody fun, but Xenogears...wow. The SKU of video games. Also, Ramsus = Saionji. Seriously. I felt bad for poor Ramsus, too. (I mean, he has that gorgeous girlfriend and he wears little black briefs to bed, wtf.)

I used to play Everquest, too. You kids and your WoW.

Hooray for WoW! (Warlocks rock ) Lately, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is also very good. My first love was Baldur's Gate II though. So dramatic and great characters to have in your party. I still love Keldorn Has anyone else played Legend of Dragoon? It was for the PS1 and is the best console game I've ever played. The combos you have to pull off made me more interested in the Final Fantasy style battle system.

Re: Games, yay!

I'm pretty simplistic when it comes to games. Civilization III (I can't get IV to work on my computer...), Princess Maker 2, The Sims 2 (with all expansions), and City of Heroes are my games of choice for the most part, with an occasional Tony Hawk or Dance Dance Revolution console game thrown in.

I've played Final Fantasy VII and VIII, but I've found that I'm just not a big RPG fan. It took me forever to finish both of them, and I'm not really inclined to pick up any of the others. I prefer just watching my husband play them instead.

Re: Games, yay!

Hoo, got a couple hours?

Okay, I'll keep it short. Right now for consoles, I'm playing Xenosaga Episode I, Robotech: Battlecry(why, oh why can't the Another Century's Episode games see a release over here?), and I bought Dragon Quest VIII today.

For PCs: Offline, I've been playing Civilization III and Return to Castle Wolfenstein(only because I haven't been playing anything else, really), and online... Maple Story is my crack. But I also have a presence on Flyff, Ran Online, Nostale, AnimaRO(private RO server), Trickster, and I recently picked up Rappelz. (hmm, I wonder if anyone's grabbed the character name "Himemiya Anshii"? That would make a great name for an Asura mage, IMO. lol.)

I won't get into what I'm playing on my PDA. I use it mostly for reading fanfics right now, anyway.

In my heart of hearts I know I should play these (And Rome: Total War ) because they sound like the kind of game I would absolutely adore. The rest of me knows I'd probably never put them down. It's basically like real time strategy meets Sim City, right?

Edit: Nope, I think you had me playing Morrowind.

To be honest, I was the first time through as well. I've played it three times (ridiculously rare for me to replay a game), and the second time really did clear up a whole lot, and I'm glad I had the patience for it because the richness and depth of the storyline, and the world they create around it, amazes me to this day. But I'm also a sucker for any piece of work that so thoroughly creates its world. (Crest of the Stars, Tolkien, etc.)
